Michele Bachmann Forgot To Pay Her Property Taxes On Time

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) -- the firebrand conservative and Tea Party darling -- was late paying her property taxes this year and has been assessed a penalty because of it, her office confirmed to the Huffington Post.

The Minnesota Republican missed the due date for a $3,740 tax on her 5,200-square-foot home on the 18th hole of Stoneridge Golf Course. For the missed payment, she was penalized by the state of Minnesota a scant $74.90.

Notified of the missing payment, a spokesman for Bachmann said that she and her husband have since taken care of the matter.

"The payment has already been taken care of. Their payment has been made and processed. It should be posted shortly," said Dave Dziok.

My property taxes are a third less than that and my late penalty is $300.

I hope she doesn't get away with it!

If I would miss mine by 2 days my name would be published in the local paper as tax delinquent. Why should she get a pass.

The entire world knows about it if they care to. How many would give a shit if you or I forgot?

I hate Michelle Bachmann but is this that big of a deal?

There's enough real stuff to get her on without us looking like clowns harping on chickenshit.

And with a penalty of a mere two percent, I'd be surprised if more people in her jurisdiction didn't do it. You want taxes to arrive on time, you enact penalties that get them there on time.

who gives a shit.

Holy shit- just $3740 a year? I pay that on 1900 sf in a 40 year old neighborhood (not attached to a golf course)
